141760 - Option to use multiple download connections for one file.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 75360

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, enhancement)

Description

[Christopher Cook]

Ideally it would be possible to set a number of connections (say 4,8 or 16 etc),
evenly split the file to be downloaded and then download each segment,
reassembling the parts once all are downloaded - currently a feature proven to
be succesful by 'Internet Download Manager' and other such download utilities -
can make a 20KB/s download suddenly become a 300KB/s download, heavy on bandwith
but if it's only your bandwidth your using then wouldn't it be nice to make full
use off it..

Something of a killer feature for the download manager, since there are programs
which use this as their core gee-whizz element, but likely to be quite a task to
actually implement, still.. everyone likes a challenge!
